Default Gm weather-pack question

I've been trying to trace down an intermittent engine cutoff on my Renix. I've traced it down to the 3 pin weather-pack male connector below the ignition power module.
I haven't replaced one of these before. My question: do I need the weather-pack crimper tool?

Thank you!

Can you tweak the connector pins instead?

Hey Cruiser,

I discovered this last night and got it to restart. I had to take the Jeep to work today, so I didn't mess with it any more last night.

I'll try and expand( Tweak) the pins tonight. I'm not sure which wire it is. The fuel injection manual shows the 3 wires as fuel pump relay, ground and tach. Which ever one it is, wiggling it shuts the Jeep off like you turned the key off. I'll report back. Thanks.

I tweaked the pins, and cleaned them up. Couldn't get it to cut out. Why do I always feel the Gremlins will reappear?
